The characteristic difference between the *Buddha* revelation and the *Christ* revelation is that the Buddha revelation was given to human beings not destined to unfold consciousness of the ‘I’ which passes through the series of incarnations. Without understanding what this implies, it is not possible to have a true conception of Buddhism. I have often spoken of a simile employed in a later phase of Buddhism, to the effect that the true Buddhist likens what passes over from one incarnation to another to the fruit of the mango which, when it is laid into the earth, produces a new tree upon which new fruit grows; the new mango fruit has in common with the old only ‘name’ and ‘form.’ The ‘form’ alone remains, the individual entity disappears and nothing that has real being passes on. Buddhism teaches nothing about the transmission of the Ego—for the reason that the Eastern peoples had not yet reached full consciousness of the ‘I’. And to this very day we find that when adherents of purely oriental teachings endeavour to understand Western thought and philosophy, they come to a standstill at the point where Egohood becomes an essential and basic factor.

This is indicated by something that made its first appearance in the fourth post-Atlantean epoch, namely Greek *Philosophy*. Greek philosophy is a significant sign of the birth of the Ego, but side by side with Greek philosophy we find the *Sibylline soothsayers*. Unlike the Pythia under the influence of Apollo, the Sibyls were women whose life of soul lacked order and harmony, who allowed the revelations they received to work chaotically in their thinking, feeling and willing. Great and sublime truths were often contained in these Sibylline revelations which began to play a part from about the eighth century B.C. and continued right on into the Middle Ages.—But the wisdom was confused and chaotic, fraught with all kinds of extravagance. Sibylline ‘wisdom’ is a striking example of he fact that the birth of Ego-consciousness (just as would have happened to the twelve senses in the Lemurian epoch, the seven life-organs in the earthly Atlantean epoch and the three soul-faculties at the end of the Atlantean epoch had it not been for the first three Christ Events.

Es wurde von mir öfter auf ein im späteren Buddhismus gebrauchtes Gleichnis hingewiesen, in welchem gesagt wird, daß der richtige Buddhist das, was von einer Inkarnation zur anderen übergeht, so ansieht, daß er es vergleicht mit der Mangofrucht, die, wenn sie in die Erde gelegt wird, einen neuen Baum hervorbringt, auf dem eine neue Frucht wächst. Name und Form sind es nur, was die neue Mangofrucht mit der alten gemeinsam hat. Das ist das Charakteristische des Buddhismus, daß von einem durch die Inkarnationen durchgehenden realen Ich nicht gesprochen wurde. Aus dem Grunde wurde nicht davon gesprochen, weil ein reales Ich bei den Völkern des Ostens nicht voll zum Bewußtsein gekommen ist.
